Wall Art Painting Personalizes Your Home
Wall art painting is as ancient as the human race. The earliest cave dwelling humans created art on the walls of their caves. From the Sistine Chapel to the twentieth century Muralist movement of Mexico to abandoned buildings adorned with spray paint, artists and walls are meant for each other.
Shelter is a basic need. But as soon as the walls and ceiling are in place they demand to be ornamented. College dorm students, kids in hospitals, old people in nursing homes create a space for themselves by having their favorite wall art decor and mementos on the wall. Every year elementary school teacher put colorful pictures on the walls for the students to enjoy and discuss.
The art that hangs on the walls in people’s homes tells much about who they are. A young single person with hopes of romance will have different pictures on the wall than will an extended family of several generations. Two casual acquaintances might discover they have the basis for a friendship when they realize they have the same art poster on their walls.
Hanging oil paintings has many advantages over painting directly on walls. There is a legend about internationally renowned artist Wayne Thiebaud painting a mural on the wall of a house where he lived. After he moved the new owners went nuts trying to figure out how to preserve Thiebaud’s increasingly valuable art project and still be able to redecorate.
Wall art painting can have tremendous significance to the people whose walls it adorns. One family has one painting on the wall of their suburban living room. It is a painting of a rather nondescript old two story house in the oldest part of the city. The people who live in the house in the suburbs commissioned the painting of the old house right before it was torn down to make way for a freeway. It is the home where their grandparents lived from the time they first immigrated to America.
In some homes the art on the walls is there to be beautiful. It adds color or focus or harmonizes the other elements in the room’s wall decor. Sometimes a homeowner will see a picture and fall in love with it and buy it and hang it on the wall. He likes it. That’s reason enough.
Reproductions of Van Gogh’s Starry Night can be found in many homes. It might remind one art student of a visit to the Museum Of Modern Art in New York. It might remind a former hippie of a long ago night in a mountain meadow. It could mean something entirely different to a child who dreams of becoming an astronaut. And for an interior decorator it could be the wall art painting with the perfect colors to match the lamp and the couch.
